Lorenz Publishing Co. 1938an Anthema choral fantasia on "Crusaders Hymn"Four part mixed voices (S. A. T. B.)Paperback7 x 10 1/2 inches, 4 pages#: L-XLV / 9199with lyrics"Fairest Lord Jesus", also known as "Beautiful Savior", is a Christian hymn.According to some accounts, it was called "Crusader's Hymn" because it was sung by German Crusaders as they made their way to the Holy Land. But William Jensen Reynolds dismisses as "completely erroneous" any association of this hymn with the Crusades. The words may have originated in the Jesuit Order, which came into being after the Crusades. The tune emerges in Franz Liszt's oratorio Legend of Saint Elizabeth—wherein the tune forms part of the "Crusader's March"—but no evidence of the tune exists prior to 1842, when the hymn appeared in Schlesische Volkslieder.The tune, originally a Silesian folk song, and the German text were printed for the first time in 1842 by August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben and Ernst Richter under the name Schönster… Read More

Hill and Wang : New York, 1999. Paperback. Fine/No Jacket. A Fatal Friendship -
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr,
by Arnold A. Rogow,


Published by Hill and Wang, a division of Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York 1999, ISBN#: 0809016214, Soft bound, New/Mint condition.This book is a dramatic reinterpretation of the duel that shocked America. For almost two centuries, historians have struggled to explain the extraordinary duel that killed Alexander Hamilton, the nation's first Secretary of the Treasury, and ended Vice President Aaron Burr's political career. In "A Fatal Friendship", the distinguished political scientist and writer Arnold Rogow argues that the roots of the fatal encounter lay not in Burr's (admittedly flawed) political and private conduct hut, rather, in Hamilton's conflicted history and character. Rogow's brilliant analysis changes and deepens our understanding of honor, politics, and friendship in the early American Republic. In this… Read More

Fathers and Sons by Ivan Turgenev Bantam HC4143 13th printing 1971

Paperback
4.05 x 7 inches, 208 pages

Fathers and Sons, also translated more literally as Fathers and Children, is an 1862 novel by Ivan Turgenev, published in Moscow by Grachev & Co. It is one of the most acclaimed Russian novels of the 19th century.

The fathers and children of the novel refers to the growing divide between the two generations of Russians, and the character Yevgeny Bazarov, a nihilist who rejects the old order.

Turgenev wrote Fathers and Sons as a response to the growing cultural schism that he saw between liberals of the 1830s/1840s and the growing nihilist movement. Both the nihilists (the "sons") and the 1830s liberals (the "fathers") sought Western-based social change in Russia. Additionally, these two modes of thought were contrasted with the Slavophiles, who believed that Russia's path lay in its traditional spirituality.

Turgenev's novel was responsible for… Read More
